Tonight, I worked up enough of a combination of slightly morbid curiosity and courage to try one Swedish classic!
One of the "forbidden" pizzas
This place's version of an "Afrikana" involves shrimp, along with the peanuts. Shrimp is another topping which shows up more than I ever would have expected to see on menus, but more places do seem to use ham on an Afrikana if it's not just vegetarian .
Swedish pizza really is its own special art form. Seriously, the common variety and combinations of toppings continues to astound. And I am mostly down for the challenge.
Still not entirely sure about the concept of non-dessert banana pizzas, however. 😅
I decided to go Full Swedish with it, and pull out the tub of beasås, because why not. Plus the crust edges looked a tad dry.
The verdict? Honestly better than I expected. It's fairly thin slices of fruit, and the dusting of curry powder does help turn the them away from full cloying mode.
Not sure this is on my shortlist of combinations to order again. Probably another of those acquired tastes. But, it's not actively unpleasant, and I'm glad to try it.
